Bill Bally Blacksmith was in business for 110 years in Grand Marais, Minnesota and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. An accomplished American Scene painter, Singer successfully captured everyday life and history during his long career. This painting is executed in oil paint on canvas. It is signed and dated by the artist in the lower right. Framed Dimensions: 29 W x 25 H Inches Image Dimensions: 20 W x 16 H Inches Born in Malvern, Ohio, forty miles south of Akron, Clyde Singer became known for his regionalist paintings in oil and watercolor of everyday landscapes and people. In 1933, he was awarded a scholarship to the Art Students League in New York. It was during the Depression, and he lived a Spartan existence. His teachers included John Steuert Curry, Thomas Hart Benton, Kenneth Hayes Miller, and Ivan Olinsky. Adopting the Social Realist style, he tried to paint in the same locations as George Bellows and John Sloan, and he painted many scenes of the interior of McSorley's famous saloon that Sloan had depicted. He had a long history with the Butler Institute in Youngstown, OH.
